The game was an other interesting one that was wit nessed by 750 spectators. The Rosewood team took the lead in the first inning, scoring three runs on as many hits off Connor. The home run was the only other score made by that team. The Galahads tallied all of their runs In the fourth session on a three-bagger by Howe, a homer by Irwin Bender, a single, two dropped third strikes and an error. Three. Double Plays Three double plays were pulled off during the game. The Rinehart, Hawley, Bricker combination ac complished the feat twice, while G. Killinger to G.

Crane Still Property of Washington Americans; Lacking Only in Hits Cark Griffith is not going to part with "Red" Crane absolutely. The Washington Herald says: "Sammy Crane, the $14,000 beauty purchased by the Old Fox from Jack Dunn's Baltimore Orioles last winter, has not come up to expectations with the Nationals. The Old Fox is finally convihced that Crane is not ready for the big show, and to-night he will ship him to Joe Cantillon's Minneap olis club of the American Association. "Crane, who was the sensation of the International League last season, was purchased in the big trade deal which sent Turner Barber, Rippy Wil - liams and Jack Bentley to the Orioles, while $2,000 purchase price was also Included in the payment for the lanky York youngster. Crane ranks with the best fielders that have ever shown here, but his inability to clout the ball has been his undoing. Griff will keep a string attached to him and will no doubt recall him in the fall. Dauphin-Perry League Duncannon has a crack outfielder in Snyder, the diminutive person, who cares for the left garden. He Is clever in handling his territory and is always a tiangerou§ man with the stick. His three hits in last Sat urday's game with Newport con tributed largely to tho downfall of the leaders. King Lear, who has been doing mound duty besides performing oc casional service In the outfield for Newport, was married on Thursday to Miss Margaret Stafford, of Alex andria, Va., in Alexandria. Earl White, who captained the Lebanon Valley College team during the past season, has been signed up for mound duty by the Dauphin tem. Dauphin now has one of the beat out an infield hit in the tenth White, Williams of Gettysburg and Gilday on it. All of them are good men. Kid Rote, the HarrisLurg and Get tysburg College athlete, made his appearance in the Marvsville line-up ir- a recent game with Millersburg. He had nothing to do in the field and secured, but one hit, when he beta out an infield hit in the tenth ir.ning. Frankhouse and Mutzabaugh, who cover the left side of the diamond for Duncannon, are an especially strong combination. Little passes through them and both are dan gerous hitters. Old Warhorse Harry Blever Is still pitching good ball for Halifax. Hard luck, however, has prevented him from hanging up a single victory this seson. Either his support wob bles at critical times or the opposing hurler and his support are going just a little better. He has lost one twelve-inning game and one seven teen-lnning game this season. &>(&antJarulJ*ice Copyright, 1917, Th® Tribune Aasociatioa (New York Tribune).

What Is even more out of line, they broke and fell before the Tigers and White Sox, clubs they have been beating handily for two campaigns. It has been said right along that if the White Sox could overpower their rivals in Red that Rowland's club should win. So far the White Sox have carried out their part of the program. It now "remains to be seen, as the quaint saying is, whether the Red Sox can launch one of their old midsummer and early fall offenses. Heretofore they have been at their best after June. They have done their finest work under pressure. But 1917 may be another yarn. The South Side legion from Cook County's citadel is playing better ball than ever before. It is pounding along with greater confidence. The Red Sox are just completing a long stay at home, or a few more days will bring about the shift. In 1915 an.d 1916 they were as good on the road as they were at home, and 1917 may produce the same results. But after the mauling they received from the Tigers and the White Sox the old odds have come badly oft. UMPIRES AND AUTHORITY Any number of complaints have been made that umpires are abusing their authority by taking advantage of the complete power given them upon the field. An umpire-to-day has sufficient control of the game to run affairs with out picking on players. The trouble is that most citieens, given a little authority, immediately desire to run amuck and become czars. There seems to be a yearning in the human breast to become overbearing, once the opening is allowed. The umpire may have a desire to "exact indemnities and penalties" and impose reprisals for the old days when the players were on top. Which, upon the ball field, will only make for other wars. THE SOLE SURVIVOR Sir—The Giants to-day have a better shot at the pennant than they had back in April. Then they had three clubs to beat —the Phillies, the Braves and the Dodgers. Since the start the Braves and the Dodgers, sup posed to be strong rivals, have completely dropped out. Twelve or four teen games back, they haven't a chance. It is now merely a question as to whether or not the Giants can beat the Phillies. If they can there will be no race after the middle of July. H. H. D. The game has known some great first basemen from the old days— Comiskey, Anson and Tenney, among others. From the veteran guard now around Chase, Mclnnis an.d Daubert still, remain. But there are two coming along who give promise of rivalling or leading the best. They are Walloping Wally Pipp and George Sisler, who are rising to greater heights every passing -week. Both are still on the early edge of youth, but even now they stand neck and neck with Chase an.d Mclnnis, the best of the veterans. "Putting is merely a matter of getting the right line and hitting the ball hard enough."—Golf Exchange. Precisely. It's as simple a matter as sending Europe 500,000,000 bushels of wheat when the surplus is under 60,000,000. Jess Willard has fought just ten rounds —thirty minutes' actual exer cise—since he won his title, over two years ago. Still, being proprietor and main attraction of a circus must cut into one's spare time considerably.

Following a meeting of the local chapter of the Baseball Writers' As sociation it was announced that the writers who are responsible for the printing of "certain scurrilous arti cles" will be asked to make affida vits as soon as they return to New York with the Giants, setting forth exactly the authority given them for their interviews. The following sport editorial from the pen of J. W. McConaughly ap peared in the New York Evening Mail, under the caption of McGraw ism: , Midsummer Repudiation "The midsummer repudiation sea son in organized baseball is now un der way. This grand old commercial enterprise has bedn wobbling for a number of years and a few more slams like the McGraw-Tener repu diation contest ought to finish the business. John McGraw was long ago supposed to have reformed, but McGrawism goes marching on. "Of course, there is no question of veracity between three or four repu table newspaper men on the one hand, McGraw and the National League magnates on the other —not In the mind of any one who knows professional 'baseball and baseball magnates. McGraw was fined for slugging an umpire and said what he thought about umpires and the head of the National League. He said what he thought for publica tion and it was published. Dragged Before Magnates "Then he was dragged before the magnates and told to sign a paper in which he declared that he had never ■ said anything of the kind or anything that could be construed into what he had been quoted as saying. "Of course, McOraw and all the magnates concerned knew that this was not the truth, but 'they wanted to settle the controversy' and it seemed to be a good scheme to dis miss the whole thing by casually re marking that <he New York baseball reporters who have given (with the consent of the publishers), McGraw and the Giants and baseball general ly about $20,000,000 worth of free advertising for the biggest outdoor amusement trust in the world, were just a lot of liars. "McGraw immediately followed this statement with another state ment in Boston in which he said he did not mean to go back on the New York newspapermen, but the pres sure brought to bear on me was that I would cause great injury to the National League, the New York club and baseball, unless I made a statement satisfactory to the board. "The statement was satisfactory to the 'board' apparently, and nothing is injured excepting thevested prop erty interests of the baseball trust, the value of which is built largely on the popular superstition that baseball games are contests in sport, instead of open-air vaudeville. "The baseball writers will undoubt edly remain calm. They havp been lied to so often by baseball magnates that the change to being lied about will hardly be noticed." Teaching Art of Driving Motorcars to Women The Auto Transpotation School, at 25 North Cameron street, has formed a special department for teaching women the driving and care of motor cars. In case war should ever invade our shore or In case great numbers of men are drawn from the industrial centers to en gage in war elsewhere, girls and women will no doubt be obliged to fill many of the vocations now filled by men. The practice has been adopted in the European countries, and anticipated such a possibility here many women are ambitious to familiarize themselves with such duties here. Mr. Felton has for years conduct ed a school for young men, and with his complete garage facilities and mechanical equipment, students may readily learn the inner workings and assembling of motor cars as well as the driving. LOST AIITO DEPORTED Catherine Markus has reported the loss of an automobile to the police. The car was kept in a garage at 1014 North Seventh street.

"lf we can greet our soldier boys, veterans of the foreign wars, when they return and say 'we could not do much, but we have at least done all we could, we can say we have done all that any one could do,' " was the closing words of an appeal by Vance C. McCormick last evening for the Red Cross War Fur.d. Mr. McCormick spoke of what the volunteers are doing for us, for the .world and for the generations as yet unborn, who will fall heir to the liberty they have helped to establish. Dr. George H. Johnston reviewed our debt to the warring countries who have struggled so valiantly and at times almost in vain not only for their own liberty, but our liberty and that of the entire world. He spoke of the dearth of Red Cross supplies along the Russian front, saying at times the wounded soldiers had noth ing but newspapers to bind their wounds. The importance of the Rus. slans staying in the war was empha sized as well as the need of the Unit ed States encouraging them in < very way possible. George E. Boyer intro duced the speakers. Solicitations by workers brought the total of the Red Cross contribu tion to $2,225. It is expected to reach the $2,500 mark by this evening.
